How to make your own DIY Stitched Ornaments
Step 1. Begin my marking the holes for your designs on your wooden circles. You can either do this by using a pencil to mark them first, or you can free-hand it with your drill. I marked some of the designs that I wanted to be more exact (like the chevron) and free-handed the simpler designs (like the trees). Drill all of your holes making sure that you use a drill bit large enough for your needle to fit through easily. You will also want to drill an extra hole at the top for hanging.
Step 2. Stitch your design through your holes the way you would embroider on fabric!
Step 3. Turn your ornament over and cut off any excess length from the floss. Tape all ends down to secure them.
Step 4. Place your ornament on the glittered cardstock and trace it. Then, cut it out.
Step 5. Glue your cardstock to the back of your ornament to cover your strings, using your hot glue gun. Press firmly.
Step 6. Cut a piece of string long enough to hang your ornament with and feed it through the hole you made at the top. Tie in a knot.
That’s it! You’ve made some adorable, handmade ornaments that will be a keepsake for years to come!
Don’t you love them? The textures of the floss on the wood is so good. Plus, the opportunities to be creative abound with this project since you can create a million different designs using a million different color schemes!
